The most likely reason for people to be detained at the airport by customs is if they believe that you pose a risk of absconding. You can avoid this by showing evidence of your return journey or next flight to border officials.
Immigration officials will take biometric information and search bags more thoroughly. If you have nothing to hide this is not an issue. They will ask questions about such things like how you’ll support yourself and what your plans are in the UK.
If you are taken to a detention centre, it is advised that you seek help from an immigration professional. You may be asked to give evidence of your intentions which a lawyer can help you to submit.
For those who are detained for an extended period, a lawyer can draft your application for immigration bail. This will include a formal letter of Representation with details of your case and the reasons you should be granted bail while awaiting a final decision from the Home Office.
If the case goes further, your lawyer is able to represent you at the tribunal. They will prepare the case for the trial and keep you up to date with events throughout the process.
Having legal representation gives you a much higher chance of success in applying for immigration bail or entry clearance into the UK. If you have been detained or refused entry to the UK, an immigration adviser is the best way to enable you to continue your travels and safely enter the UK again in the future.
